Iceland - Refit or closing down

[Wormella]

Walked passed the Iceland next to Argos earlier and it looked liked it was having major work done to it.

Any insiders know what it might be?

On a slightly related note what was Cafe Italia, opposit Sports Direct in that part of time has reopened as a 'hot bap shop'

I'm no insider, but I do know it's just an Iceland refit..

I believe that Iceland is having a refit. There was a note up for a week or two before the shutdown, but there seems to be no information there at present, and I've forgotten how long the note said it was due to take. I vaguely remember the re-opening date being in June, but there's a long way to go before we run out of June.

Seems that although it's a newish building it contains asbestos, which is being removed it will the be slightly updated and given a lick of paint. Also they will cease flogging white goods and are having a till removed. During this re-fit staff can take paid holidays, unpaid leave or work in the nearest branch which i'm informed is Longton, travelling expenses paid......

Good Iceland knowledge Basil (and everyone else)

I meant to ask the same question as the OP when I went past and saw it closed last weekend.

Re-opens 25th of June guys.

Can't wait. Never been a fan of farmfoods. Just opened a bag of their frozen burger baps and 5 out of the 12 were smashed to bits! Come back iceland, all is forgiven

Yep, my dad's firm doing the work. Iceland are one his biggest clients.
